We are unable to hold dogs due to our small size. Dogs coming into us are coming from local shelters that are euthanizing for space so holding a dog for an extended period does not allow another dog to be saved.
Animals may not be adopted as a "gift" for someone unless all family members are aware of the adoption and meet the animal before the adoption takes place
Dogs must not be left crated for more than 8 hours.
If you have a current pet, they must be up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered. This includes cats. Dogs must have annual vet exams.
If renting, approval from the landlord is required to keep the dog on the premises.If you have a current dog, your pet must meet the new pet before the adoption is finalized to make sure they will be compatible to live together. You will bring your dog to our facility for the meet. We cannot travel to you.If you adopt from Fetch A Friend Rescue and you cannot keep the pet for any reason, you must return the animal to Fetch A Friend Rescue. There is no guarantee that because you apply for the dog that you are going to adopt that dog. We seriously consider all applications but if we should suggest another dog for your home, it is because we truly know these dogs and possibly there is another dog that is a better fit. We strive for as best of a match as possible. Proper placement takes into consideration many things, including size, male/female, activity level, children and ages of the children, fencing or lack of, amount of time dog will spend home alone, and many other considerations. When a dog is posted we may receive up to 50 applications in a matter of hours. You will receive an email if selected to come and meet this dog.

ABOUT ME!: Handsome Porky was found as a stray in the city of Syracuse. He was likely a discarded breeding stud. He has only known love and spoiling since arriving to us! He loves big cozy beds, big stuffed toys, and wearing warm clothes on a cold day! Porky is a gentle giant but also a bull in a china shop! You will need sturdy legs around this bulldozer! He has worked hard on his jumping and impulse control and has done wonders with our trainer. He is so eager to learn and responds amazingly to clicker training and positive reinforcement!
He is low to the ground and a big boy. Porky recently had entropion surgery to correct the eyelid on one of his eyes.
Porky is pretty dog selective and happiest on his own. He will be happy to have a home where he is your one and only baby!
He does not like un altered male dogs and no kitties!
Although he occasionally loves to play with most large females he does not wish to share his home with one. He does not like to share his toys with other dogs.
Porky was heart worm positive when he was found on the streets, likely from life outdoors. Since being with us for so long he is now heart worm treated and tested negative! He will need to remain on heart worm meds for life. He loves going for walks with our volunteers too! This guy walks great on a harness! He loves wearing clothes and won’t go outside in the cold without them on! He is looking for a loving devoted adopter to spoil him rotten.
Porky is neutered, heart worm negative, microchipped, current on vaccinations and parasite preventions! Porky requires a vet reference for adoption. As he requires lifelong heart worm meds and occasional ear meds his adopter will need an existing vet.

ABOUT: Adorable Chase was found as a stray roaming the streets of South Carolina and no one ever came forward to claim him. This little cutie pie is all puppy and he sure loves to play! He is seeking an active home that will keep him exercised daily and give him tons of cuddles. He would benefit from a fenced yard to run laps in, and plenty of daily enrichment and mental stimulation. This guy is the absolute sweetest and loves to cuddle and be close to his humans when it is down time. He will cuddle right up with you on the couch and fall right asleep in your lap.
Chase is crate trained, clean in his kennel and never has an accident! He is a young pup who needs a home that will crate him when they are not home to keep him out of trouble. He loves toys, loves to play ball, go for long walks with our volunteers and is eager to please! Chase is the best boy- and not being able to live with other pets should not make him any less adoptable. He has been waiting since last June and is so full of love to give! He is a favorite star pupil with our dog trainer as well!
Chase is neutered, heart worm negative, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and current on his parasite preventions.

ABOUT: Handsome Jordan was found in the city of Syracuse as a stray wandering the streets. After spending time at animal control, he was never reclaimed. As you can see, this sweet boy had his poor ears very poorly chopped off by whoever owned him prior to rescue. Jordan is just a pup still but wants nothing more than love and cuddles. He will chase a ball around the yard- and sure loves to chew on his nylabones and bully make toys! Only durable toys for this power chewer- no stuffed ones please! Jordan loves to give hugs, lean into you for belly rubs, ear rubs and lots of pets! He loves being bathed, is a dream on a leash for walks, has learned his basic commands and is a star with our trainer. Jordan is seeking a home where he will be the one and only pet in your life. Kennel life was really hard on Jordan when he arrived. He was rapidly losing weight and extremely depressed. He has now been here for 7 months waiting for a family and has adjusted to living in a kennel. He has gained all of his weight back and is a much calmer dog in the kennel. He does sleepovers every weekend with our volunteers and they look forward to it every weekend! He is the best cuddler and sleeps all night under the covers with his people! He is a great sleeper and does not wake during the night or have any accidents. He is totally housebroken also!
Everyone who meets Jordan adores him and cannot understand why he is still waiting for a home. The volunteers all cannot wait to take him for walks as he is the best walker!
He is very eager to get into a loving home and provide someone lucky with endless cuddles. Jordan has a lot of love to give and is just the sweetest boy ever.
Jordan is now neutered, heart worm negative, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and current on his parasite preventions.

ABOUT ME!: Chip came to us as a stray from Cayuga County. He was found wandering the streets and no one claimed him. He spent some time at animal control waiting but his family never came. Chip was transferred to us to find a new family who will never abandon him again. Chip is just a puppy and eager to learn and please. He has some worry that he will be left again but is making progress overcoming that. He is very nervous when meeting most new people. He warms up quicker with treats, patience and letting him come to you. He is not in any way aggressive, or a biter etc, he is just shy in new situations and wants to hide. He is looking for a confident dog experienced owner to help him get through this. He works with our trainer weekly and has made great strides! He has kept a very clean kennel with no accidents, and has not been destructive with any of his toys or bedding. He loves to play fetch, jump in the pools, and loves chewing on his nylabones! Chip is a very sweet boy looking for a family for life.
I am neutered, heart worm negative, microchipped, current on vaccinations and parasite preventions!

ABOUT ME!: Poppy came to us from a local puppy mill who no longer had a use for her. With the demand for dogs dropping her puppies weren’t selling and she no longer served a purpose to them. Poppy was locked in a barn her entire life and never saw the light of day. She churned out litter after litter, was starved, never bathed or groomed and was painfully matted from head to toe when rescued. She was an absolute Angel for her grooming and so patient for it! She didn’t love the water but soon realized it felt nice. Despite all she has been through, Poppy is the happiest dog you will ever meet. She is constantly smiling and will forever be your shadow. She is always right behind you ready for love. The whole vet staff just adored her when she went in to be spayed! Poppy would do well in a home with another dog to learn from. She has no clue what a toy or a treat is, and doesn’t know how to play. She is slowly learning it’s fun to run around with the other dogs and play chase with them. She has gotten along well with every single dog she has met so far! Poppy needs to put on about 25 more pounds to reach a healthy weight. She will require an owner knowledgeable with the Poodle breed and their grooming needs. Matting is incredibly painful to a dog if they are not brushed or trimmed regularly.I am spayed, heart worm negative, microchipped, current on vaccinations and parasite preventions!
